MG ZR

Updated 20/8/04 - I realised I hadn't added enough info after reading the comment from the Operator, hence amending this so hopefully I cover all points for anyone who read this. I own the MG ZR 105, which has a 1.4 engine. This is the most basic of the MG class. No frills, just a basic car. I bought it in April 2003 for £7995 with 9000 miles on the clock. To date, I've added 26,000 miles to the clock from frequent trips up and down South, and I have to say that when it comes to long distance driving, the ZR has never grumbled once. It's very very good on motorways, it can keep pace with most ... more

I bought my ZR about a year ago and have to say I do love it....with reservations. Its the ZR105+ model with all the extras (needed them as VERY basic at base spec) in Metallic grey. I got the car pre-reg so saved bout 3k off the total list price of just over £13k (which i would NEVER have paid for a beefed up Rover 25) Personally, I think the car looks great. Just the right amount of changes to the bodywork of the 25 without making it look garish, although, thats with my colour, not too sure I would have said the same if mine had been yellow! Performance wise, the car is very respectible with ... more

This review is for my sweet MG ZR 160 blue 3 doors which I bought 3 months ago. My Experience This is one of the best cars I have owned or driven. There are few things that MG could have done to make this one of the best cars. I picked one up for 5000 for 37000 miles which was an absolute bargain due to its condition and only 1 previous owner. Looks: If you look at this car from front, back or side it looks absolutely stunning as it comes with side skirts, front bumper and spoiler to give that sporty look. The car is not very low so you do not have to be very careful on speed breakers. My ZR ... more

2005 Version of the MG ZR+ 115 TD My brother was lucky enough to have gotten an excellent deal with his employers, who agreed to pay part payment on a brand new car for him. Wish I had the opportunity like this, but it was to allow him to travel the some 200 mile round trip to work, as he was thinking of leaving to get a new job closer to home. After trawling through quite a few garages before Christmas, I was drawn to the MG one, just to have a look! There were many models, but the one that caught my eye, was the MG ZR+, 115 Turbo Diesel 5 door. Perfect. It was a 5 door, so suitable for ‘the ... more

I owned this car for almost 2 years between 2008 and I sold it in January 2010 after upgrading my car. I was very fond of my MG, I had the 105+ version with a 1.4l engine and all of the optional extras. I had wanted an MG ZR since I first set eyes on one so was very pleased when I finally had my own! *History of the MG ZR and options available* The car was first made in 2001 (Y reg) and was made until 2005 when sadly the Rover plant in which they were made was shut down. The cars were only available in limited colours, these included blue, yellow, red, green, grey and black. There were 5 ... more
